Though magic’s being repressed in most places, it doesn’t stop things like mer, kelpies, rusalky, trolls and nixies, corpsewights and ghosts from existing. They just hide deeper in the forests and mountains, in lakes and tarns, cellars and mirrors. It’s harder for witches, though, to cover what they are as the Church gets more and more militant about things that don’t conform. Hard to know, too, how many burn who are genuinely those who can hex, and how many are merely inconvenient women.
